WELCOME FROM THE CHAIRMEN · Welcome to a NCAA and College of Charleston tradition like no other...

Welcome to a NCAA and College of Charleston tradition like no other – The 2014 Cougar Classic Women’s Golf Tournament. Founded and nurtured for 11 years by John Rivers, this tournament has developed into a top talent showcase for amateur women’s golf. This year’s field is the strongest ever and features defending national champion Duke University and 2011 national champion UCLA. Ten of the Top 25 teams from the 2013 season join the Cougars in this premier competition.

We are honored to chair this event on this renowned golf course. We are grateful to the members of Yeamans Hall for their generosity in opening their gates, homes and cottages and lending their course to these outstanding women athletes. This course has always been a special place since its inception and this tournament adds to the legend.

We have followed and played the game throughout our lives and so appreciate the science and the art, the strength, discipline and focus of the true masters of the sport. We are proud to support all of these young women as they learn the game of life through the game of golf and their excellent coaches Jamie Futrell and Eve VanderWeele. Whatever path they choose to follow, they will be leaders in the world, in part, because of the lessons learned on the course and in the field of competition.

Finally, we want to thank all of the donors and sponsors and volunteers who give their time, energy, resources and enthusiasm for the College of Charleston women’s golf team and this tournament. Your contribution demonstrates commitment to providing opportunity to our university to help build the character and talent of our young women through the fascinating game of golf.

Sincerely,

Dianne and John CulhaneCougar Classic Tournament Chairmen

John M. Rivers, Jr., is one of the founders of the Powerade Cougar Classic and founding chairman of the tournament. His everlasting motto of “excellence breeding excellence” has never resonated more than with the Cougar Classic. While Mr. Rivers has stepped aside as tournament chairman his legacy will endure. During his 11 years as tournament chairman, John has transformed the Cougar Classic into one of the premier events in women’s collegiate golf. He has been a tireless fundraiser, mentor and supporter of both the College of Charleston women’s team and the Cougar Classic at Yeamans Hall Club.

“We would not be in the position we are today without the longstanding support and commitment that John Rivers has given our program,” College of Charleston Head Coach Jamie Futrell said. “We are forever grateful to him for the mentoring and support he has given this program and the Cougar Classic.”

In keeping with Rivers’ vision, the 2014 Cougar Classic will feature one of its strongest fields in tournament history. The “Tradition of Excellence” continues again this year in honor of our visionary, our mentor, and our founder, Mr. John Rivers, Jr.

THE TRANqUILITY OF AN EARLIER TIME

From the inaugural round played by the Yale Golf Team of 1926 to the hosting of the U.S.G.A. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship in 1997, Yeamans Hall Club has enjoyed a long tradition of support of amateur golf. In the spirit of that tradition, we welcome the colleges, their players, coaches and supporters to the 2014 Cougar Classic. Yeamans Hall is well-suited for this distinguished amateur competition. Since the Club’s founding, our members have been committed to the highest standards of the game of golf. It is, therefore, a privilege for us to serve as the home of the Cougar Classic since the inaugural tournament in 2003. Designed by Seth Raynor at the height of his career and completed just prior to his death at age 51, the golf course was described by famed sportswriter Grantland Rice as “the most marvelous in the country.” While some of his enthusiasm might be the result of embellishment by a gracious guest—who, after all, penned the words, “it matters not that you won or lost, but how you played the game”—many of the initial visitors to Yeamans offered similar praise for both the Club’s ambiance as well as its amenities. The first few years of the Club’s operation witnessed a continuation of the Club’s initial success. In addition to the golf course, the Clubhouse and guest quarters opened to receive the non-resident membership who traveled south to escape New England winters. Also during the early years of operation, a number of private cottages were built on the grounds. Thus, as the decade of the roaring 20’s came to a close, Yeamans Hall was well on its way to its proposed full development of two golf courses and over 200 privately-owned cottages. However, world events intervened and the steady pace of construction activity which characterized the first several years of the Club’s history, ground to a halt in the wake of the 1929 stock market crash. The extent of the economic upheaval across the United States began to be felt at the Club during the 1932 season when a large number of members resigned. Prior to that time, it was as if the stiff upper lip resolve of the membership—epitomized by J.P. Morgan partner and cottage owner Tom Lamont characterizing the events of October 1929 as “a little distress selling”—could keep the country’s economic problems beyond the environs of Yeamans Hall. Nevertheless, the problems of the 1932 season continue into 1933 when the Club’s Secretary reported to the Board that he had corresponded with several members who had submitted resignations, urging them to reconsider. But in every case, except one, “they felt obliged with much regret on account of business conditions to withdraw from the Club.” From the more comfortable perspective afforded us now, the old saying, “every cloud has a silver lining” may be repeated. The interruption in the Club’s development caused by the Great Depression, as unpleasant as it was for earlier members, has created an environment remarkably similar to that which existed more than 85 years ago. The stately Clubhouse, the purity of the golf course, the presence of only 35 private cottages on the entire 900-acre property, and the natural beauty of the grounds themselves capture the tranquility of an earlier time. It is these qualities which we hope participants and spectators enjoy during the Cougar Classic. College of Charleston head coach Jamie Futrell states, “The historic ambiance, tradition and outstanding Seth Raynor golf course make the ingredients for a special collegiate event at Yeamans Hall every year.” In 1925, Raynor wrote the founders of the Club his impressions of the course as it neared completion. He concluded as follows: “I would say this course is going to combine the sandy seaside features and the rolling dune effects so desirable in the coastal area. The fairways are made beautiful by the magnificent live oaks and large pines bordering them. The encircling trees give a warmth to the course in the wintertime, which is very delightful. This, combined with the invigorating climate and all the other fine features this spot contains, is bound to make one fall in love with golf at Yeamans Hall.” The members of Yeamans Hall hope that both the participants and spectators enjoy a memorable competition, and at the tournament’s conclusion, find themselves in agreement with Raynor’s prediction.

HISTORY OF YEAMANS HALL

10

The career of Seth Raynor has long since emerged from the considerable shadow of his mentor Charles Blair Macdonald. A Princeton graduate and a civil engineer by training, Seth Raynor had his first association with C.B. Macdonald in 1908, when he was retained to survey the property and then given the further opportunity to supervise construction of the course that would become the National Golf Links. Macdonald was greatly impressed with his young colleague’s work and a professional relationship of almost 20 years followed. In his book, Scotland’s Gift: How America Discovered Golf, Macdonald describes how important Raynor’s personal and professional qualities were to him. “…it was imperative I secure an associate, one well-educated with wide engineering capabilities, including surveying, companionable, with a fine sense of humor, but above all, earnest and ideally honorable. Such a man I found in Seth J. Raynor.” In 1915, Macdonald invited Raynor to become his partner leading to a collaboration on many courses beyond the National including Mid Ocean, Piping Rock, Yale, the Old White, and the Greenbrier. Raynor also pursued a distinguished career in his own right. From 1915 until his death, Raynor designed or remodeled nearly 100 courses. Fishers Island Golf Club, Shoreacres, and Camargo are several of his individual designs. His work may be found in 16 states and extends from Hawaii to Bermuda. At the height of his career, Seth Raynor designed both Yeamans Hall and the Country Club of Charleston. When working at Yeamans, Raynor collaborated with the Olmsted Brothers firm, which was responsible for the landscape design, and James Gamble Rogers, the architect of the Club buildings and seven of the private cottages. The definitive biography of James Gamble Rogers describes his architectural style, but it equally describes the design principles employed by Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. and Seth Raynor in their design philosophy. “He designed what worked, so long as it was within a broad vocabulary of precedent. To him architecture was a matter of cultivation, of education, of propriety, and of manners. He was no more interested in inventing a new style of building than he was in inventing a new way to dress or a new way to set the dinner table. He believed that the modes that had been handed down by previous generations were not only acceptable, but preferable to anything his generation might invent, and that as an architect, it was as much his duty to speak the language that had been bequeathed him as it was his duty as a dinner guest to speak the language of his hostess.” Raynor’s career reflects an equal respect for the great traditions of golf architecture. The late golf historian George Bahto wrote of Raynor: “While other architects of the era were adept at self-promotion, and often penned books and magazine articles on the subject, Raynor felt no need to express himself beyond the courses he built. He never sought to reinvent golf architecture, but instead honored the past by anchoring his work firmly in time-honored themes. Like a great symphony conductor, Raynor’s masterful interpretations of classic compositions were ever new and ever fresh, yet grounded firmly in timeless genius.” Many of the holes at Yeamans are reminiscent of the best principles handed down by previous generations of golf architects. Raynor likened his design of several of the holes at Yeamans to those found at the great courses of his time, including the National, Piping Rock, the Old White, North Berwick, Prestwick, and St. Andrews. The Raynor philosophy attempted to both incorporate and improve upon the great designs from all over the world. Yeamans Hall is an example of his success in achieving this goal.

HOLE 1Yardage: 393par: 4

Raynor compared this hole to the 11th hole at National Golf Links. The tee shot is uphill to a plateau fairway. If the crest of the hill is not carried on the tee shot, the hole will play much longer than 393 yards. The second shot is to a double plateau green guarded by two deep bunkers right and a bunker front left. A tough starting hole for the ladies this week.

HOLE 1 SpONSORMetromont Corporation

COURSE YARDAGE


Raynor likened this hole to the fifth at Piping Rock with some added improvements. A slight dogleg left with a flat tee shot going straight at a series of bunkers on the right side of the fairway. The second shot will play a slightly uphill, to a small green, to a surface that can’t be seen. Flag depth is hard to judge.

HOLE 2 SpONSORJoanne and Morgan Morton /Walt and Geri Schlauch


The characteristic “Short Hole” of Raynor/Macdonald courses, calling for a short tee shot to a large green with deep bunkers in front and to each side. A ball hit long will leave a tough up and down depending on the hole location. The green is a plateau at the rear and funnels everything else to the middle.

HOLE 3 SpONSOREdwin Watts Golf

13


Raynor designed No. 4 as a two shot “bottle hole.” The ladies will play the hole as a par 5 from the back tee. The bunker in the middle of the fairway will offer a great target off the tee, but should not come into play off the tee shot. The hole will be a true three-shot par five. The green is elevated with a deep bunker left and severe drops both right and behind. The front quarter of the green serves as a false front and will need to be carried to keep the ball on the green.

HOLE 4 SpONSORFirst Tee of Charleston


Raynor likened this hole to the 13th at White Sulphur Springs. The hole has since changed a lot, losing much of the original bunkering: however, this par 4 will still be a challenge to the ladies. The hole will play longer than the 376 yards and with a bunker right and mounds left in the fairway, the tee shot will be to a very narrow spot.

HOLE 5 SpONSORThe Links at Stono Ferry


A classic design with similar holes at the National and Shinnecock Hills and most other Raynor/Macdonald layouts. The green slopes severely from right to left and front to back with deep bunkers right of the green that challenge even the most skilled bunker players. A deep bunker left catches many tee shot to a back flag. The best play is to the middle of the green.

HOLE 6 SpONSORGateway Hospitality

14


Raynor compared this green to the 17th at St. Andrews, the famous “Road Hole.” The women should get good distance off the tee as most drives will land on downhill slope. Their second shot will be an uphill shot to a large green with a bunker short left and a bunker right and long.

HOLE 7 SpONSORKellogg Group

COURSE YARDAGE


Raynor said this “is a two shot natural hole, the green being on the bank of Goose Creek.” Not much earth was moved when this hole was constructed. An elevated tee shot over a crest and into a rise will leave a mid iron shot to a fully visible green with a lone pine standing in the rear. Bunkers left and right of the green grab a lot of shots on this beautiful hole along the countryside.

HOLE 8 SpONSORRobert Siegel


Raynor designed this hole as a long uphill par 5. The ladies will play from a forward tee that will be placed 523 yards from the green. Bunkers right and left will put a premium on hitting the fairway. The third shot should be a short iron to an elevated green with bunkers on both sides and to the rear – a tough hole going out.

HOLE 9 SpONSORNature’s Calling

15


Raynor said this hole is a drive and pitch “Cape Hole.” It should be a little longer than a drive and pitch for the ladies, however. The feeling of bending around a corner out to and island green can be seen along with the deep bunkering both left and right of the green. Hitting the green with the second shot is a must.

HOLE 10 SpONSORCoca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated


Raynor likened the green to that of the first at the National. A beautiful hole framed by live oaks, it plays downhill to a dip, then back uphill to an elevated green. A deep bunker left with an oak overhanging and a plateau green finish off this masterpiece.

HOLE 11 SpONSORJohn and Dianne Culhane


Raynor described No. 12 as a drive and pitch hole. Don’t let this hole fool you. It may be short and innocent looking, but the green is narrow guarded by deep bunkers front, right and long. The second shot must end up on the green to avoid bogey or worse.

HOLE 12 SpONSORO’Connor Inc.

16


Raynor called this “a 160 yard ‘Eden Hole’ similar to the 13th at the National and the 11th at St. Andrews. The background of this green is Goose Creek instead of the River Eden, as at St. Andrews.” A very deceptive green with deep bunkers right, left and long. Getting the ball close will be difficult.

HOLE 13 SpONSORBaker Motor Company


Raynor built this green on a knoll with extremely deep bunkers both left and right. A good view can be obtained with a strong tee shot to a plateau overlooking a hollow. Miss the green and you could be in one of the bunkers for awhile. A classic designed hole using the natural terrain.

HOLE 14 SpONSORBob Ott


No. 15 is like the 6th at Lido, this hole being a copy of one of the holes taking first awards at the time Mr. Macdonald offered prizes for the best designed two-shot holes. The ladies will play 15 as a par five. A rolling fairway doglegging left off the tee will leave a second shot to a narrowing fairway with bunkers right and left. The green is elevated and guarded by bunkers on both sides.

HOLE 15 SpONSORIngram Entertainment Inc.

COURSE YARDAGE

17


Raynor likened this hole to the 9th at Piping Rock. The green has shrunk over the years, leaving a smallish single level green. Originally a Biarritz hole with a large swell in the front part of the green, it now features a dip in the front that makes it seem much short than it really is.

HOLE 16 SpONSORCougar Club


This straight-away hole has a shallow bunker on the left of the fairway and some trees in the right rough that can hurt an errant tee shot. A high-lipped bunker, about 15 yards short of the green, is a must to carry with the second shot. The green has a rim around the perimeter that funnels balls back onto the green, giving it a “pinch bowl” effect.

HOLE 17 SpONSORThe Golf Club at Briar’s Creek


Two bunkers jutting into the fairway make this a tight driving hole and bunkers crossing the fairway at about 100 yards will catch lay-up shots. Keeping the ball below the hole on this natural green will be necessary.

COFC WOMEN'S GOLF SEASON pREvIEW

The 2014-15 College of Charleston women’s golf team will look to repeat as CAA champions and return to the NCAA Tournament for a second-straight year. The team returns eight of its top nine players from its record-breaking 2014 CAA Championship squad.

While on their way to a record-setting four tournament victories, the 2013-14 team also broke the school’s single-season record for scoring average with a 299.44 average. The Cougars also posted seven of the school’s lowest 10 scores in history last season. In addition, they also set a school tournament record of 861 in the Cougar Classic last year.

Leading the way for the Cougars is sophomore Laura Fuenfstueck (Langen, Germany), who was the CAA Player of the Year as a freshman setting a CofC single-season scoring average record (73.38 average). She also set a school record earning three victories last season including CAA Championship individual medalist honors. Fuenfstueck is currently the top-ranked women’s amateur golfer in Germany.

“Last season, Laura had an outstanding year and is poised to do so again this season,” CofC Head Coach Jamie Futrell said. “We are a very deep team that has a great deal of experience. If everything comes together, we have a chance to have another record-breaking season.”

Junior Mary Chandler Bryan (Chapin, S.C.), an All-CAA First Team selection, leads a talented group of five juniors. “MC” participated in the U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship this summer and looks to continue her success from last year. Junior Morgan Webber (Moore, S.C.), an All-CAA Second Team selection, also returns for the Cougars. Webber started in every spring tournament for CofC last season.

Junior Julia Neumann (Berlin, Germany) is perhaps the most consistent performer for the Cougars. She finished second at the 2014 CAA Championship. Louise Olsson (Uddeholm, Sweden) is another talented junior who has contributed greatly to the Cougars during her first two years. Junior Stacey Tomlinson (Greeleyville, S.C.) is coming off a good summer and looks to regain the form that saw her start four times for the Cougars as a freshman.

C.C. Buford (San Antonio, Texas) is the lone senior on the team. She has come into her own as a player this summer qualifying and playing in the U.S. Women’s Amateur. Buford, a team leader, looks to be a major contributor to the Cougars this year. Sophomore Victoria Drechsler (Munich, Germany) is also coming off a good summer of play and is poised to have an impact on the Cougar lineup this season. Redshirt junior Michelle Black (Asheville, N.C.) could add depth to the team, if she can return from a wrist injury that has sidelined her for much of the past two years.

“All eight players can legitimately play in our lineup,” Futrell said. “I look for everyone to contribute to the team’s success on the course this year. We are excited to get started on the 2014-15 campaign.”

THE SCHEDULECofC will open its fall tournament slate with the 12th Annual Powerade Cougar Classic on Sept. 14-16 at Yeamans Hall Club in Hanahan, S.C. The year event hosted by the Cougars will feature 10 of the top 25 teams from last season including defending national champion, Duke University.

Later in the month, the team will compete at the Wyoming Cowgirl Desert Classic in Palm Desert, Calif. The Cougars will then return home to play in the Charleston Southern Wendy’s Invitational at Rivertowne Country Club on Oct. 6-7 in Mt. Pleasant, S.C.

A road trip to Knoxville, Tenn., follows on Oct. 17-19 as CofC makes its second-straight appearance at the prestigious Mercedes Benz Invitational hosted by the University of Tennessee. The Cougars will return home to end their fall season hosting the Palmetto Intercollegiate on Oct. 26-28 at the Kiawah Island Resort’s Turtle Point Golf Club.

“We have a fun, challenging schedule this year,” Futrell said. “The team will get to travel to many different parts of the country this year, while competing against some of the nation’s best programs in the process.”

The Cougars will open the spring season out West at the Westbrook Invitational hosted by the University of Wisconsin on Feb. 22-23 in Peoria, Ariz.

The 2014 edition of the Cougar Classic embodies the tradition of excellence that tournament founders John Rivers and Jamie Futrell envisioned with the inception of the tournament in 2003. Defending national champion, Duke University, and 2011 national champion, UCLA, headline a field that includes 10 teams ranked inside the Top 25 at the end of the 2013-14 season. The University of Florida will look to repeat as champions after back-to-back Cougar Classic championships in 2012 and 2013. Notre Dame won the inaugural event in 2003 with Tina Miller from the University of Miami taking home individual honors. The Fighting Irish would become the first two-time winner of the event, taking home the trophy in 2007 by the slimmest of margins – one shot over the University of Tennessee. There have been three other two-time winners: the University of Georgia (2008 and 2009), LSU (2004 and 2011) and Florida (2012 and 2013). The 2013 Cougar Classic continued the tradition of closely-contested championships when Florida came from behind to beat Clemson by one stroke and the College of Charleston by two shots. While there has never been a playoff, four of the 11 Cougar Classic Championships have come down to a single stroke (2005, 2006, 2007 and 2013). In fact, the Cougar Classic has never seen a championship decided by double digits. North Carolina owns the largest victory in the history of the tournament winning by eight shots in 2010 shooting a 4-under par 860. The individual championship has never had a two-time winner. When Florida’s Anna Young won the Cougar Classic last year, she became the second person from the Gators’ program to win the individual championship. This marked the first time one school had multiple winners in the classic. For the first 10 years, an individual from a different school won the individual title. Yes, 10 years with 10 different schools represented.Florida’s Camilla Hedberg and LSU’s Austin Ernst own the Cougar Classic scoring record both shooting a 13-under par total of 203. They did this in back-to-back years with Ernst shooting 203 in 2011 and Hedberg turning the trick in 2012 for the title. Florida State’s Lacy Agnew owns the single-round scoring record shooting a 7-under par 65 in 2009. The Cougar Classic’s tradition of excellence continues in 2014 as some of the best collegiate players in the world vie to put their names in the tournament record book. Look for another exciting year as the newest chapter of the Cougar Classic unfolds.
